A hand (mine) holding a clear glass with a large red rooster w/a black tail on it. It is standing on its tippy toes in the grass with its wings open, its neck stretched out and its beak open in mid caw. There are three other glasses in the background. Glasses were made by Federal Glass.
Picked up some vintage juice glasses for my sister for Christmas. She loves her some chickens & some vintage…so these are perfect.

>>>>> The article "Together, let's fight the'ultra-consumerism of Black Friday: place to second-hand gifts !" by Maud Sarda, founder and director of Label Emmaus, highlights the negative impact of Black Friday's overconsumption on the environment and society. The author argues that second-hand gifts are a more responsible and ethical alternative, carrying a story and authenticity that distinguishes them from mass-produced goods. According to a recent study, 43% of French people have already offered second-hand gifts, but the majority of the population is still hesitant due to deeply rooted consumption habits. * Black Friday is a ritual of overconsumption with hidden invisible costs: destruction of the environment, exploitation of workers, and unbridled overproduction of often useless goods. * Second-hand gifts are a more responsible and ethical alternative, carrying a story and authenticity that distinguishes them from mass-produced goods. * 43% of French people have already offered second-hand gifts, with strong adoption among younger generations. * The majority of the population is still hesitant due to deeply rooted consumption habits. >>>>>
<<<<< **Second-Hand Gifts Campaign** The article discusses a new campaign launched on November 21 to promote second-hand gifts as an alternative to ultra-consumerism during the holiday season. The campaign aims to convince more French people to adopt this approach, which is considered "richer" in meaning, humanity, and sobriety. * Platforms like Amazon and Shein/Temu are destroying local businesses and harming the environment. * Shein and Temu products are often made with hazardous materials and are difficult to recycle or repair. * Second-hand gifts can be a sustainable choice, carrying meaning and promoting solidarity, memory, and hope. * The campaign invites people to resist advertising bludgeoning and favor a consumption that is more responsible and ethical. **Reinventing Christmas for a Sustainable Future** The article emphasizes the importance of making a collective statement against **ultra-consumerism** during the holiday season. It encourages readers to give new life to existing items, rather than buying new ones, and to prioritize a more sustainable and fair approach to consumption. By doing so, individuals can contribute to a fairer and more sustainable future. * #UltraConsumerism * #BlackFriday * #SecondHandGifts * #SustainableConsumption * #EthicalConsumption * #ResponsibleConsumption * #LabelEmmaus * #MaudSarda * #SustainableChristmas * #AntiUltraConsumerism * #FairerFuture * #Sobriety * #Solidarity * #MemoryAndHope * #BlackFridayAlternatives * #SecondHandIsTheNewBlack * #AntiConsumerism * #SustainableLiving https://www.humanite.fr/en-debat/black-friday/ensemble-combattons-lultra-consumerisme-du-black-friday-place-aux-cadeaux-de-seconde-main <<<<<
